This hotel is my favorite in Bar Harbor. we recently all stayed here. (again.) Great location downtown, lovely rooms, friendly service, good housekeeping service, good breakfast too. you can walk to the harbor and see the sunset and enjoy the shops and restaurants including McKays just nextdoor. Highly recommend!! read more

Beds were so comfortable, we had the best night of sleep ever. The staff was really kind, and they had everything you could need. Board games, umbrellas, binoculars, great local recommendations. Free breakfast was just a plus. We stayed in the king suite. Would definitely stay here again. Location was 10/10! read more

I had an amazing stay here! From the daily greetings, service, and staff all so friendly. The location was convenient, not too busy or crowded. There is a gift shop convenient for me especially last minute gifts. Beautiful flowers around the whole hotel. I think I must have about 30 photos of the flowers. The breakfast was amazing everyday. There is a Keurig in the room. Every afternoon there is a different snack in the lobby area. There are 24hrs water, tea, and coffee as well. Plenty of parking for customers and short walk to everything. The front patio faces Main Street so I would sit every afternoon to chill. Definitely will recommend others to stay here! read more

Front desk staff were super friendly upon arrival. We arrived around 5-6pm and the front desk staff was waiting outside to greet us. He was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The room was beautiful and huge! Perfect size for three guests. A wonderful buffet style breakfast every morning starting at 6:30. I do wish it would start a little bit earlier especially on days you are up early for hiking, but regardless the breakfast was wonderful. Housekeeping staff were wonderful and very nice. Easy access to walk downtown and to the ocean shore trail which was wonderful to watch the sunset. Cookies and Whoopi pies almost every day in the main lobby. Umbrellas available in the main lobby when it was raining. Overall, could not recommend this hotel enough. Will definitely be back! read more

We completed our stay in the area with one night at the Bar Harbor Grand Hotel. This is an adorable space with rocking chairs in the front, private free parking, snacks out during the day, and an ample and delicious continental breakfast. We called ahead and were told they would try to have our room ready if we would be early, but we ended up not needing it. We checked in with the nicest ladies, and our room was just around the corner from the front desk. The room was very spacey, and it was quiet, even though we were right by the door. The night staff was so very nice and welcoming when we returned from dinner. The gentleman was friendly and helpful. After a week of "glamping," this hotel was exactly what we needed. I slept like a rock and felt so refreshed. The breakfast had EVERYTHING! I wish I would have been more hungry because there was so much that I passed on. We checked out exactly at 11, and then realized we forgot a couple of items (twice, oops), so we were quickly assisted and could get right back in. Their little gift store has some items I had not seen elsewhere, so we grabbed some things up there. It was an absolutely wonderful experience! read more

Room was nice, location was great, whole hotel seemed very clean. The best part was the breakfast--tremendous options and fresh fruit, and the staff in the breakfast area were super attentive and accommodating. However, our stay was three weeks into the government shutdown. The elderly lady at the front desk tried to sell us a park pass for $35 and said the national park required a pass to get in. I can't imagine, living and working so near a national park and depending on it for your clientele, not knowing that government shutdown = national park pass not needed to enter. We knew she was incorrect because we had just come from the park and didn't need a pass to enter, as she was very confident in tone that one was needed. This was fishy to me, as if a local hotel can even sell a national park pass? She really tried to push it on us and we almost caved to the pressure. I'm not sure why her management would have her push that on guests, knowing full well the government shutdown makes a park pass unnecessary. Seemed like a grift to me, and caused them to lose a star in this review. read more

This hotel is definitely worth the price. Location, location, location!!!! You park in their lot with a pass and can walk all over Bar Harbor without the hassle of parking. The check in experience was great, with friendly workers. Our room was ready and was extremely nice. There was lots of room and the bed was comfortable. We did struggle with getting the air conditioning right, as it's right above the bed and blows on you. The swimming pool was a nice treat and speaking of treats, they always sit out something in the afternoon. The front porch with the rocking chairs was super enjoyable for early morning and late evening. The breakfast is really nice with fresh fruits, pastries, etc. I would highly recommend staying here. read more

Extremely clean, very well kept, and the staff could not be nicer. They are trying very hard here. The location is fantastic if a little bit busy, and it's nice that they have a pool outside. I would equate this very much with a Holiday Inn Express on almost all levels, including breakfast. If I could change one thing, it would be to have someone monitoring the dining area during breakfast. After watching one kid, maybe 5 or 6s, touch everything with his hands and then sneeze on about half of it barefaced while he was exploring, barefoot, which was interesting, I think it would be great to have someone say first, you have to put shoes on in an eating area. Second, stop touching everything with your hands. And maybe have a rule that anyone under 14 has to be served by an adult because it was pretty nasty. Not entirely the hotel's fault but would be great for someone to monitor things for parents who don't. My only other advice would be to ask for the top floor because there's very little soundproofing between floors and you hear every step above you. read more

beautiful hotel and walkable to everything. The folks at the front desk were super friendly and helpful. Clean comfortable rooms.

I was hesitant to book here because there weren't many reviews, however I'm so glad I did! We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were very clean and cozy. Beds are very comfortable. The continental breakfast every morning was much better than chain hotels and the staff was very friendly. We enjoyed the infused water available at all times and the little treats they put out for guests. The location was great. Plenty of restaurants and shops in walking distance and only a short walk to the waterfront. read more

My cousin and I decided to last minute book this hotel for a night stay because we wanted to drive in from Portland to check out Acadia national park for a day - the best idea!! We arrived around 8pm to check in and the guy at the front desk was so nice and helpful in planning out our trip from catching the sunrise, figuring out where we should grab a late dinner, and things to check out the following the day. As soon as we got in the room, I was like wait I haven't been to a hotel this clean in a little while and everything about it had these charming little details throughout the room and property. The beds were so comfortable and we loved that there was free parking. It's in an amazing location where you can walk all over Bar Harbor and about 10-15 minute drive from Acadia. Also who doesn't love a free breakfast? They had a variety of options to choose from and it ended up being great to grab in between catching the sunrise and heading out for a few more trails before checking out. I'm definitely coming back here with family in the future. read more

Good memories from our stay at Bar Harbor Grand, so here's the gist of it: Ran my first marathon and was footsteps from the start line, an amazing location, private parking lot, gigantic complimentary breakfast, very comfortable beds, and a friendly staff. We were off to a rocky start when they didn't have the requested crib in the room, but it was all quickly remedied, and everything was smooth sailing from there. I loved how clean and nice everything was, but more than anything, the location was the best part for sure. Prices weren't too bad on a busy fall weekend either. The breakfast was nice with fruit, oatmeal out of a crock pot, danishes, good coffee, and even some eggs and other things you wouldn't necessarily expect. Would definitely recommend this spot in Bar Harbor, and you're very close to Acadia as well by car. read more

A hotel with character and it's located right on Main St. I mean, how cool is it that you get to stay in an older but clean hotel that's surrounded by restaurants and shops. The rooms look exactly like what's depicted on their website. I booked my room through Hotels.com and got a ridiculously affordable rate and it comes with breakfast! With that said, there are quite a few Inns and Bed and Breakfast around the area so you definitely have a lot to pick from. This just happened to draw my attention because of its look, price and location. read more

A very warm and classically designed hotel. Neil made check-in after a 12 hour drive amazing. His kind demeanor was greatly appreciated. Check out was easy and quick thanks to Alecia. My only complaint was the shower. I think that my room was handicap-accessible, which may explain the design of the shower. When the shower was in use, the water leaked out onto the bathroom floor. read more

This is a great hotel, especially for families. The convenience for downtown fun is great. The pool and hot tub are a huge bonus. The breakfast was good. Love the fruit and yogurt options. Maybe consider adding another hot option. The gym is lacking but it's enough to get a quick workout in. The service was great. Everyone is very friendly. I would definitely consider again. read more

A nice hotel right in Bar Harbor. The room is very nicely sized and the hotel is both close to the center of town and provides parking. The staff at check in were cheerful and helpful. They provide a free breakfast in the lobby with eggs and sausage, cereal, fruit and pastries. Something for everyone. Not a gourmands delight but a good and convenient way to start the day. read more

Stayed here for two nights and paid the extra for the two queen bed room and single side room with a queen bed. The extra cost coupled with the amazing "extended continental breakfast" which is code legit morning breakfast was worth every penny. The thread count on the sheets is unreal. Very soft and probably worth more than my own home sheets. The room is very clean and has pretty much everything any other major hotel chain would have (fridge, microwave, etc). I will be coming back here in a heartbeat. It's a shame I only found out about this now. The pool is small but nice, with just the right amount of room for small children to play. The location of the hotel is perfect. if you walk down main street to the end and take the shore path, the end will take you pretty much back to where the hotel is. The staff here is incredibly nice and friendly and was willing to help with anything we needed. Again, I can't stress how nice it was to stay at conveniently located hotel that has an amazing breakfast (probably $15/person value added to the stay). I don't need to try out any other hotels in future trips. read more

Arrived to enjoy the first opening night of the season with this hotel exceeding all expectations! The hospitality and unique comfort measures are beyond the usual. The 2 bedroom suite is huge accommodating a 5 sister's trip to the gorgeous Bar Harbor with a spacious grand restroom and 3 queen beds. From associates (desk staff, fully stocked & hand-prepared hot/ cold complimentary breakfast served graciously by Lori and on-site managers Neil & Janine) all went out of their way to make us feel at home with all the amenities. Great value! read more

Great staff, location, breakfast, rooms, room and hotel appointments. It's modeled to be like an old historic hotel however it's modern. The bathrooms were excellent! The beds were excellent. The whole hotel was very clean. I don't impress easy. The free breakfast was probably best I've had at a hotel. Eggs, sausages, fruit. All great. They had some cider donuts that were phenomenal and were def not from a chain. They had cereal and other foods added well but that's just what I had. Had a view of Cadillac mountain in distance from my room. The pool wasn't open yet but it looked nice. The fitness center is the only area I would say this place was lacking in but there is one there and it has some free weights that don't go up very high in weight and a treadmill. Better than nothing but nothing I could do Anything with. There is a laundry room downstairs as well which is nice. To me the location is excellent. It's literally 5-7 minutes to the water walking. It's a bit quieter where it is and it's great because you can relax. The town is a college town and there is the occasional drunk douche bags yelling out near the water in hotels off balconies so this is more quiet, family friendly for sure. If you cant literally walk 5 minutes you probably better staying in town more. But this place has charm, it's clean, great staff , food. I like to find things wrong with places, it's my super power. I def recommend this place unless you have to be on the water in the middle of chaos. read more

Cute little inn style hotel. Darling desk ladies. And the most comfy beds and sheets. The toiletries are bath and body works, and cleaning staff was attentive. The breakfast room was a full house! Great blueberry muffin, eggs, bacon, etc. (Didn't like the coffee, but there are a couple great places across the street! read more

This is the best hotel I've stayed in since covid. When we arrived they gave my son a free stuffed animal soft deer, he loved it! The room is nice, spacious, as well as the bathroom. I love eucalyptus and they have all B&B works stress relief in the bathroom. They also include a small sanitizer for you. There were lightbulbs out in the bathroom and they came up and fixed them within five minutes. I needed toothpaste and they asked if I minded if they brought it up to the room to me! What service. We came back the second day and housekeeping had been in, I was not expecting this, as since covid I haven't seen housekeeping. It was a splendid surprise. They gave another sanitizer in the bathroom to take and they left a nice handwritten note on the hotel paper pad. The breakfast options are mostly to go items but a great array and so many options. Being gluten free, I was very happy to see a few gluten free options too! They also have coffee available 24/7. read more

We went to the Acadia National Park. 6 miles away. Right on Main Street. Everything is close. The service is great. The breakfast is free and fabulous. It's expensive during peak times, but it's a pretty nice place. I liked the porch. Rocking chairs and an inn table to put your beverages on. I loved it. Food in the area is expensive and every food establishment has to have lobster on the menu. The going price for a lobster dish was $29. They even had lobster ice cream. The price for our room with taxes was $336 per night. Pricey, but a nice place to visit. read more

Really friendly staff, very welcoming environment, and prime location!! I also appreciated how thoughtful the front desk was.

theres is nothing grand about this hotel, its old, the walls are thin the bed and pillows are god awful and old and the wifi is 1-2 MB at $240 a night that is a rip off. For breakfast we had blueberries in a plastic ketchup container. I don't recommend this hotel at all. There's better bed and breakfasts in the area read more

We stayed 7 nights for a family reunion of sorts. We had to change our reservation a few times and they were lovely about it. The rooms are nicely appointed with comfy beds and a King suite was large with a comfortable chair and plenty of closet and bureau space. The heating/cooling system works great and there is a fridge. The room and the public spaces were clean and pleasant. The breakfast was fine, not fancy but completely acceptable if you are not looking for "great" with eggs, potatoes, and bacon each morning, muffins, yogurt etc. The location is great, at the opposite end of Main street from the water so a great place to start and end your walk in town. There is a great front porch with rocking chairs, great for a glass of wine! The pool was small but a nice pace for a quick dip. Rates were very reasonable and the staff were great. We would definitely return! read more

First trip to Bar Harbor and we stayed here after reading some of the reviews. I would/will stay here on my next trip. Hotel is located right in the hub of everything but still quiet. The room was massive and we had a view of Main St. Loved the breakfast which provided a variety and was nicely done every morning. Room was clean and maid service was great. No elevator in the North wing but we are in our 30's so it was no bother at all (only 3 floors) Parking is easy with the lot right behind the hotel. We did laundry here as well since we were doing a multiple day trip and the washers and dryers did great. Coffee provided all day (Keurig) and there is even a microwave in the breakfast area that I'm sure staff would allow you to use. There are even rocking chairs in the front where you can sit and have your coffee while watching the crowds. Internet was fast and reliable. There is a heated pool as well that some people were using but we are from the south and it was just too cold to try that out. Honestly, I can't think of one negative to say. We will be back and be bringing friends with us! read more

This is a nice hotel with spacious rooms, beautiful light fixtures and a large bathroom with a large vanity. Breakfast is free, but it is basically sweet stuff - waffles, cereal, oat meal and muffins. The did have some obviously little omelets filled with American cheese that were obviously pre-packaged. That is what I ate, since it was a source of protein. I was able to choke two of them down. This hotel is located in the center of Bar Harbor. There are many shops and restaurants in the area, but at least half of them are closed now in mid November. The hotel is located just outside of the Acadia National Forest, which is the reason we visited Bar Harbor. Cadillac mountain is amazing beautiful. The main road travels around the Atlantic Coast in most places with many hiking trails and scenic stops. The Bar Harbor Grand Hotel is the perfect place to stay if you plan to visit Acadia. read more

We had a pleasant time here with clean rooms and excellent staff who made us feel at home!

Great hotel in a fantastic location. Within walking distance to the waterfront as well as numerous shops and restaurants. Only 1.5 miles to entrance of Acadia Nat'l Park.

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at the Bar Harbor Grand Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hotel was clean, decorated nicely and was so conveniently located. We easily walked to shops, restaurants and down to the harbor. Most importantly, the staff at the Bar Harbor Grand Hotel was helpful, knowledgeable about the area and very friendly. Breakfast was delicious each morning and we especially appreciated the service of Sam each morning as we enjoyed our meal. She was friendly and helpful, kept everything spotless (even during the busiest breakfast times), and never rushed us. I would happily and whole heartedly recommend this hotel to anyone asking where to stay in Bar Harbor. read more

Good location, friendly staff. Good continental breakfast. We left some items in the room and they were kind enough to mail them to us. That was much appreciated. Curiously we had no curtains in our 4th floor room. This seemed a bit of a surprise to the front deck when brought up at checkout. I would stay here again. read more

Lovely old grand hotel. The staff was delightful and helpful. Very clean and Victorian.

Forgot to post this from our visit back in October... The hotel is perfectly located in the center of Bar Harbor and it's walking distance from anywhere in town and it's just a few minutes from the entrance to the Acadia National Park loop road. It is rather big, offering many amenities and accessory services (although we didn't get the chance to try any since we stayed only one night). It comes also with a complimentary breakfast, but the selection at the buffet seemed to be very limited so we decided to skip it and find some nice slice of blueberry pie in town. Room was huge, clean and comfortable... we just had some issues with sleep quality since there was something outside of our room doing intermittent noises (something like a loud beep) every now and then during the night (we were located in room 101, conveniently located at ground floor right behind the reception desk with a view on the parking lot). So just in case, ask for a higher floor room if possible (again, not sure what was the source of the noise but it was definitely annoying). read more

My wife and I stayed here this June . We found the hotel's interior modern, the room and bath spacious and extremely comfortable. Breakfast was very adequate, with the only drawback that there was no kitchen to cook eggs (which. we easily survived). If not for that minor flaw, I would have given it five stars. I am partially handicapped, and the facilities were excellent for that. The front desk staff excelled. My only problem was that I made my reservation through Orbitz!!! They charged me about $11.00 more a night for the room, plus "taxes and FEES, so that their "discount price" was actually significantly more than I would have paid had I called the hotel directly. I will definitely stay at this hotel again. Thank you Bar Harbor Grand Hotel for a great experience. read more

This hotel is centrally located and has a parking lot. It was a short walk to downtown Bar Harbor's stores and restaurants. There is a small workout room and laundry room in the basement. There is also an outdoor pool. The rooms are modern and clean. Breakfast is included and in addition to the usual complimentary breakfast items, there is french toast and waffles that you just heat up in the toaster, hard boiled eggs, and yogurt. Yum! Nice visit. quiet and slept comfortably. read more

SNAIL PACE WIFI: GRAND HOTEL The hotel was not ready for me, even though I had registered online two night before and had a reservation confirmation on my iPhone. The TweedleDee manager was condescending and obsequious at the same time. The accommodations, despite the hoighty-toighty names are Holiday Inn du jour. We bought a package and discovered that the fancy included dinner was a half-mile away at their sister hotel. No transportation was offered. The dinner at the sister hotel, The Bar Harbor Inn & Spa, was delicious and an awesome deal. read more
